Another rip off airport service! There is a shuttle bus between Dortmund Airport and the nearest station at Holzwickede. At the airport there is a ticket machine for the local transport, so on my last visit I bought my day ticket, and boarded the bus to the station. The bus being exactly the same type and livery to other local buses, and to all intents and purposes it was a local bus. German bus drivers don't often do much in the way of ticket checking. Cue shouting from the driver. Turns out that the five minute journey to the station commands an additional fee of 3 euros.

| Hidden down the bottom of this notice (presented in the standard style for the area) in the small print is the news of a 3 euro fare, reduced to 2 euros for children. |
 |
| And whilst we're here, for the few who still believe German railways are better than the UK, the station real time information isn't much cop... |

| And for completeness this is the Stadler FLIRT I travelled on. |
